Seven Germany players are suffering from flu
symptoms, just 24 hours before their World
Cup quarter-final against France.
Coach Joachim Low said that most had
“throat aches” but did not reveal the names
of the players affected, BBC reported.
“It’s too early to make any final decisions
about the line-up,” said Low.
Mats Hummels and Christoph Kramer had
suffered with illness earlier in the week, with
the former missing Monday’s last-16 win
over Algeria.
Low believes that the travel across Brazil,
and different climate zones for their four
matches so far – as well as matches in
tropical heat, a heavy downpour and then in
chilly Porto Alegre – had taken their toll.
But he added: “It’s not all that bad at the
moment. I don’t want to dramatise it.”
